The Intense Mind with Imi Lo

https://eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2024/04/29/amy-yip/ Amy Yip was a Mental Fitness Coach and the author of the book: Unfinished Business: Breaking Down the Great Wall between Adult Child and Immigrant Parents. In this conversation, Amy talked about her life and how it was affected by her immigrant parents' struggles and the sacrifices they made. She shared stories about growing up with cultural expectations and always trying to make her parents proud. Amy's story, as a child of immigrant parents, highlighted the complex dynamics in these relationships. Growing up, Amy felt the pressure of her parents' sacrifices and expectations, which led to feelings of not being good enough and needing to prove herself. As Amy explored her own story, she discovered the impact of intergenerational trauma and the importance of empathy and understanding in the healing journey. Amy also discussed her career changes and how she discovered more about herself. As a mental fitness coach now, she told us how she worked through intergenerational trauma and built self-confidence. Healing from intergenerational trauma and unresolved grief was not a straightforward process. It required facing difficult emotions, sitting with discomfort, and allowing ourselves to grieve and work through the pain. Amy believed that the key to navigating intergenerational trauma and healing relationships with immigrant parents was to develop empathy, compassion, and a willingness to have open and honest conversations. By trying to understand the stories, experiences, and perspectives of both ourselves and our parents, we could start to untangle the layers of unfinished business and build deeper connections based on love, acceptance, and mutual respect. Throughout the conversation, Amy and I explored topics like unresolved grief and the emotional process of self-discovery. Her journey from feeling unworthy to finding empathy and healing showed how personal growth and reconciliation were possible through thoughtful self-reflection and open dialogue.

Navigating career and purpose is an ongoing journey, not a destination. Many of us feel pulled between passion and practicality - it's natural to wonder how to stay true to yourself while also paying the bills. My conversation with Dr. Sarabeth touched on these challenges. She reminded us that we all have multiple talents worth exploring. By acknowledging our diverse interests and experiences, new opportunities can emerge. It takes courage to embrace change and experimentation. But seeing our careers as dynamic, rather than fixed, allows room for growth into our best selves. Dr. Sarabeth encouraged embracing uncertainty through curiosity - an open mind leads to new discoveries. Money worries can feel restrictive, but reframing our beliefs frees us. Aligning our work with core values like purpose and fulfillment is more important than any title. And small steps toward our passions, taken with patience, can pave the way. I hope you'll reflect on nurturing the diverse talents within you. Have the courage to chart your own path through exploration and community.

Full Transcription- https://eggshelltherapy.com/a-split-in-our-personality/ Childhood Trauma Splitting is a psychological mechanism that allows someone to tolerate difficult and overwhelming feelings. It is often seen in Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) who suffer from Complex PTSD or childhood trauma. Having Trauma Splitting, or Structural Dissociation, means we are split into different parts, each with a different personality, feelings, and behaviour. As a result, we feel completely different from moment to moment. Since Highly sensitive people(HSP) respond to Complex Trauma more intensely, trauma splitting may create a split in your psyche, causing a myriad of confusing symptoms.
